Thanks a lot John for those clarification/ideas - agree with most of your
points. We would be glad to be part of the process too.

Re: [Dhis2-devs] DHIS2 Dashboard Apps

[John Mukulu]

These are very interesting topics,

Just weigh in on few of the issues raised.

1. Way of widgets identifying themselves, this is actually supposed to be
for all apps, to sort of have unique-app-id that'll unique like android
apps, so names and version can change but it'll stay the same, this is on
jira but not implemented yet, would help tracking and triggering of widgets
and their counterparts apps

2. Explore and going full screen limitations, at the moment, there's no
such features, explore simply opens the same widget iframe in separate
page, with scorecard we had to write widget that's actually a fully fledged
widget, so on explore we'd check if it's separate page to give you
impression of full app and impression of just a widget on small page, but
above features would definitely solve this

3. Access to global selections, at the moment iframe loaded apps have not
been provided with means of accessing anything outside, because they're
essentially brand new page running as subpage, standards could be put such
that global filters could pass selections to the iframe url of the app and
trigger reload(or abandon iframe idea all together and persue much better
one! Think web components and custom elements)

4. Rendering on native mobile apps(android & iOS), because widget are
stand-alone pages but still using utilizing same page sessions cookies and
page header contents, they are presented as a fake new page trying to
impersonate other page, this pause a security dilemma and often forces
nginx to allow such except for browser, but never torelated on native
mobile and hence never working there.

Most of these concepts are already in past jira issues awaiting priority to
be picked up, but should you have interesting in innovating there, three
major things to solve

1. Abandoning iframe in favor of web components (but keeping airframe
simplicity of integration) - solve global filters accesibility and other in
memory info, solve security for android, allow distinction of states(full
or widget)

2. Add app property in manifest for appid and make app urls use app ids
with support for accepting more parameters

3. Add property in widget for corresponding appids for widgets to allow
explore by reference to apps or prompting install when absent(app id would
guarantee this)

HISP Tanzania can help further brainstorming and potential solutions, let
me know if you're embarking on this.

And Sorry for long paragraphs!

Re: [Dhis2-devs] DHIS2 Dashboard Apps

[Martin Van Aken]

Thanks for your answer - any way to specify where the "explore" link should
lead:


this would allow my app to show a small part as an iFrame, then be called
in full screen on click (like the Pivot tables & chart works in the
Dashboard right now)

Re: [Dhis2-devs] DHIS2 Dashboard Apps

[Knut Staring]

On the topic of filtering - do the maps in the dashboard now also obey the
orgunit filter? The ability to drill down the whole dashboard (rather than
just each widget in isolation) is quite powerful.

Re: [Dhis2-devs] DHIS2 Dashboard Apps

[Olav Poppe]

Hi, jumping in on this conversation with two related questions:
1) is there any (documented) way for a dashboard widget to identify "instances" 
of itself? So that if you add two or more instances of the same widget and want 
to set them up to show different things (e.g. different indicators), it would 
be possible for the app/widget to save and restore some sort of setting.
2) is there any way for a widget to query for dashboard parameters 
(particularly the orgunit filter)?

Hi Martin,

the dashboard widgets/apps, listed under the Apps section in the
dashboard item selector, are rendered in the same way as before.
They are loaded in an iframe in a box added to the dashboard grid.
This is also to ensure existing apps can still work in the new Dashboards
app.

As for distinguishing between a full screen and a "widget" app, there
isn't anything in place as far as I know.

One way is to use a responsive layout in your app, to ensure the
content fits and is usable in both full screen and the small widget
box.

I didn't work with widget apps, so hopefully someone in the community
who has done that can help.

Cheers,

I could not find info about is how the different kind of apps change,
especially the DASHBOARD_WIDGET one - does that means that an app of

kind will be rendered as a box in the main view? If so, how to specify
the
part that should go there vs for example a full sized page after once
clicked?

Any doc or example on this would be great.

As I'm there - thanks to the team there to provide a nice to use

Not exactly, the content in the iframe is usable from within the box
in the dashboard.
There isn't a way of going full screen at the moment, but it can be
easily added.

Re: [Dhis2-devs] DHIS2 Dashboard Apps

[Martin Van Aken]

OK, so it will render the "main" page (as refered in the manifest) as an
iframe there, with clicking on it leading to the "full page" app, correct ?
This being said, looks like something I could test easily.

Re: [Dhis2-devs] DHIS2 Dashboard Apps

[Edoardo Sabadelli]

Hi Martin,

the dashboard widgets/apps, listed under the Apps section in the
dashboard item selector, are rendered in the same way as before.
They are loaded in an iframe in a box added to the dashboard grid.
This is also to ensure existing apps can still work in the new Dashboards app.

As for distinguishing between a full screen and a "widget" app, there
isn't anything in place as far as I know.

One way is to use a responsive layout in your app, to ensure the
content fits and is usable in both full screen and the small widget
box.

I didn't work with widget apps, so hopefully someone in the community
who has done that can help.

Cheers,

[Dhis2-devs] DHIS2 Dashboard Apps

[Martin Van Aken]

Hi!
We've been working with DHIS2 Apps for a while now, and found the general
experience (as developers) pretty good with the d2 + React combo. Something
I could not find info about is how the different kind of apps change,
especially the DASHBOARD_WIDGET one - does that means that an app of this
kind will be rendered as a box in the main view? If so, how to specify the
part that should go there vs for example a full sized page after once
clicked?

Any doc or example on this would be great.

As I'm there - thanks to the team there to provide a nice to use extension
point in the form of webapps - much appreciated!

Martin
